The Brienz Rothorn Railway, now in its 126th year is one of the oldest steam cog railways in Switzerland, running daily this summer. Step back in time as you hear the chugging of the engine, and see and smell the rising steam. The train makes its way through leafy forests, alongside steep cliffs and across green alpine meadows during the 7.6km journey.

 

 

Get snap happy at the top of Rothorn Kulm with the 360° panoramic views. See panoramic map for further details.

If you would like to spend longer there, soaking up these beautiful surroundings, dine on the sunny terrace of the restaurant at the top. The railway is situated in the centre of Switzerland, one hour from Lucerne and 20 minutes from Interlaken by train/car.

 


 

Highlights

  • Panoramic views from 2,350m above sea level. See 693 mountain peaks
  • The Steam Sausage Express (Wednesdays only)
  • A free ride on your birthday
  • Dine at the Berghaus Alpine Lodge at the top
  • The peak trail connecting the mountain station with Rothorn’s summit
  • Look out for the herd of Ibex that live on the upper reaches of the Rothorn
  • Footplate rides on a steam locomotive

 


 

The Steam Sausage Express

The Steam Sausage Express departs Brienz at 10am every Wednesday morning until 21 October.
